The Road The Stage is missing one of the PP boys this week as Patrick was down with the sickness. Ironic as our guest is also a nurse! Trevor Hurst has put the medical career aside to revive the legendary Econoline Crush who are back with a new song called No Quitter from a soon to be released new album which will be followed by a documentary called Flatlander chronicling Trevor’s work as a Psychiatric Nurse with Canupawakpa Dakota Nation in Manitoba. Peter and Trevor weave through stories about the bands beginning at the height of the grunge movement, memories of Edgefest, and things get emotional as they discuss their fathers who have both passed on, but whose presence are still felt in mysterious ways.
